• 70 awardees at 52 different U.S. universities. The universities grant doctoral degrees in Physical Sciences.
• To prepare graduate students for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission, by providing graduate thesis research opportunities at DOE laboratories
The research projects proposed by the new awardees demonstrate strong alignment with the priority mission areas of DOE Office of Science that have a high need for workforce development. The DOE SCGSR program plays an important role in sustaining a pipeline for highly skilled scientific and technological workforce development through providing new graduate research opportunities at DOE national laboratories.
• The SCGSR program provides opportunities for graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory/facility, in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist. The SCGSR research projects are expected to advance the graduate awardee’s overall doctoral thesis while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories/facilities
• Provides supplemental awards for graduate students to spend 3 to 12 consecutive months at a DOE national laboratory facility conducting graduate thesis research in a priority research area in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist
• The award provides support for inbound and outbound travel to the laboratory, and a monthly stipend of up to $3,000 for general living expenses while at the host DOE laboratory during the award period
• The SCGSR program provides opportunities for graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory, in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist
• The SCGSR research projects are expected to advance the graduate awardee’s overall doctoral thesis while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories
• The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science provides the funding for this program
•Start as early as June 3, 2019 (four month flexibility window)
